You’ve said goodbye. It’s time go.
So you came, Musashi.
Kudos to you.
Where’s Sayo?
Don’t be in such a rush. We’ll show you… but later.
After we’ve finished our business.
Musashi… Musashi…
Destroy the Genma in front of you… Kill them with your sword… Musashi.
Just as expected.
You’re some kind of monsters, aren’t you? Demons in human form, controlled by Iemon.
I never thought he’d be this slow.
Oh, well. Let’s put him out of his ignorance, shall we?
Agreed.
Yeah.
Matashichiro… Denshichiro… Seijuro.
The three Yoshioka brothers!
But they died years ago! I was the one who put them in their graves!
You sent us to the land of the dead. We’ve come to return the favor.
Yeah, we want to finish what we started.
The time has come, old friend… for you to join us.
You can’t believe your eyes, can you, Musashi?
It’s understandable.
Cause you killed me at Sanjusangen-do Temple, right?
And you killed Matashichiro at Ichijo-ji Sagari-Matsu Pine.
You brought disgrace on the Yoshiokas’ reputation, and for that, we have borne
you a grudge that knows no end.
Yoshiokas…?
The most famous instructors of swordsmanship in Kyoto. They taught the
shogun.
But those three were supposed to have been killed in duels with Musashi over 20
years ago.
What’s the matter? Does seeing us remind you of what a despicable coward you were
back then?
Okay, I guess you are the Yoshiokas, but you’re not the ones I knew. You’re the
bogey Yoshiokas.
At least according to this thing.
But actually I couldn’t care less what kind of monsters you are.
There’s only one thing I need to know.
Where is Sayo??
We’ve already killed her.
What would you do if we had?
You didn’t.
Why’s that?
You wouldn’t kill her and lose a hostage… At least not until you were sure I wasn’t
coming.
No, that would’ve been sloppy, and the Yoshioka brothers I knew were smarter than
that.
Hm. Smart enough to arrange it so that I had to fight seventy of their disciples
all on my own.
It was fifty. Fifty disciples.
Nah. It was seventy.
That was just a lie you spread around afterwards.
If it were up to us, we’d take our revenge by watching you suffer and die right here
and now.
However, we--
However, you have orders from Iemon, right?
Aren’t you smart.
He didn’t forbid your suffering, though. The only thing Iemon specified…
…Was that you remain technically alive.
You really think you three can beat me?… When you couldn’t even manage it with
seventy?
We’ll see… won’t we?
It was fifty!
Faster than you used to be, and more bloodthirsty.
The three of us are very different than we once were.
Just like you’ve borrowed the power of the Oni, we’ve borrowed the power of the
Genma, so I’d say we’re even on that score.
Why don’t we skip all the talking and just get to it?
Yes, why don’t we.
Yes, very impressive, I must say.
You have clearly undergone a lot of training.
Your skills are extraordinary.
Even with the power of the Genma… I could never beat you.
At least, not alone.
But there are three of us, Musashi… And together, we have sworn to defeat you at
any cost.
You’re always so impatient, Seijuro.
But I have to admit, you’ve got me fired up, brother!
So you’re finally revealing what you really are.
Now you see why you should start taking us seriously, Musashi.
Matashichiro! Go ahead!
Right!
That’s oil!
No, no--!
Do you save the girl from burning alive…
…Or focus on defeating us? So many things to worry about, aren’t there?
Sayo!
She’s in there??
Sahei, Kaizen, Heikuro! Get her out of there! Hurry!
Right!
Find a well!
Oh--… Yeah.
You’re not going to save the girl yourself?
Denshichiro!
Got it…
The years of resentment… finally end here and now!
We’re going to send you on your way to hell! It’s all over for you. Goodbye,
Musashi!
Sayo! Stay as far away from the bell as you can!
We’ll get you out, don’t worry!
The well’s dry!
… What do we do?
We’ll have to move the bell! Come on!
Let’s go!
Not so easy, is it, when it’s three of us at the same time.
Even if you can parry the first attack, the second or third will get through.
Get up, Musashi! We’re not done playing with you yet!
One! Two! Three--!
It’s no use, we didn’t even budge it!
The three of us don’t have the strength.
-Damn it! -Don’t kick the bell striker!
Don’t lecture me!
A lever! We’ll use it as a lever!
Kaizen, help.
-Hang on, Sayo, we’ll get you out! … -Hurry!
-And push! -It moved!…
Don’t stop! Keep pushing!
-Quick, get it off of her! Push! -They’re sure having quite
a struggle, aren’t they?
You want to help them, don’t you?… But first, you have to defeat us.
Yoshiokas…
…When I send you to hell again, you’ll stay there for good.
Ah… Now we’re getting somewhere.
Not to worry… He’s still only mortal.
Don’t rush me, okay? I know you’re hungry for their souls. But you’ll get ’em soon
enough.
Matashichiro?
I’m fine… It’s only a scratch.
Only your legendary two-swords technique allowed you to survive that
attack.
The next will finish you!
Denshichiro! Matashichiro!
Whether any of us three live or die is of no consequence… All that matters is that
the Yoshiokas emerge victorious!
Sayo? Sayo!
What’s wrong?
I can’t hear her anymore!… Sayo!… Sayo!… Sayo!!
What’s the matter? Have you had enough?
I thought he was unbeatable. How disappointing.
Kill them… Kill them… Kill them!
-Keep pushing! -Wait.
-Zojo enma…Zengyo kaho…Daiji daihi… -She’s still alive!… You two keep pushing.
-Togyo jojinIssai shujo… -Kaizen, what’re you doing?!
-Shitsuu bussho Ujo mujo… -Shitsuu bussho Ujo mujo…
-Shikkai jobutsu Tenku zoriki Unso kuyo…! -Are you insane??
Keep pushing!!!
-Shuen mago Onmyo metsuzai… -Shuen mago Onmyo metsuzai…
-Gubuku sokusai Sangai kenbaku… -Gubuku sokusai Sangai kenbaku…
-Zeidan… -Zeidan…
-Push! Push!!] -Our mission is clear.
You need to cut off his arms and legs…Nevermind. Just kill them all.
Kill them… Kill the Genma!
-Jungotsugo daishin -Jungotsugo daishin
Zeisho bussetsu Kamu myozai Kouzai ryouken
Heikuro! Heikuro--!!
What’s taking you so long?
…It’s this damn wound…
Kill the Genmas.
Become an Oni.
Daiin kongo yasha myoh Chikko daisho Komyo Kinyo shobutsu…
-Komyo henjo! -Komyo henn-jo!!
They tipped it over!
-Sayo! -Hey--! Are you okay??
Brother!
Denshichiro!
An Oni??
It’s an Oni.
It is indeed.
Sorry to keep you Genma waiting.
Come over here and let’s finish this.
Doesn’t it feel great?
I’m finally starting to feel the joy of coming back to life.
She seems to be all right.
With Musashi as an Oni, and we as Genma… This is the ultimate showdown!
But the victory of the Yoshioka brothers is inevitable…
For there’s a reason you cannot defeat us.
Big brother?
Go! Farewell, Matashichiro! Farewell, Denshichiro!
As I expected… But as skillful as Musashi is, he has only two swords… and there are
three of us!
Outnumbered and off-balance, even an Oni can’t defend itself against Denshichiro's
blow!
This is the Yoshiokas' victory!
No…!
Is that… Is that really Musashi?
I’m not sure.
Hey! Don’t--
Musashi, no.
Even though you were able to obtain the power of an Oni…
…You must not become an Oni, Musashi.
Sahei, I…
I leave it to you to fulfill my mission.
You can rely on me, Kaizen.
Heikuro you, too.
Yeah… I will.
I trust you both.
Musashi…
I regret that-- that it had to… end this way.
I don’t.
I’ve had a most excellent journey.
Why did you save me?
Why?
I don’t know.
But whatever the reason, it wasn’t your fault, Sayo.
So you mustn’t cry, you hear?
I’m not crying!
Why’d you do it?
The answer… lies within you.
You must never tell my master Unsho this…
…But your cooking was much better than the meals we were served at the temple.
It tasted so good.
So good…
Sahei. You’ll wait here, with Sayo.
I’m going with you… I have to go.
I might be tired but you’re worn out too.
I won’t be left behind.
All right.
Then let’s get moving.
I’ve got a deadline to keep.
I didn’t really expect men like the Yoshiokas to be a match for Musashi.
The great swordsmen of Kyoto, instructors to the shogun himself.
Yet all so insignificant.
A master swordsman like that deserves a worthy opponent.
Oh… I can’t wait to see the look on Musashi’s face… when you show up.
